Having checked passed results, it does appear that Lacko is more than a match for Evans, though he has started slipping down the rankings in the past 12 months.
As an aside, when did they start listing qualifying results on the ATP player activity page? I'm 99% certain they weren't there last year.
Yes, it is a good thing I believe. When I first started taking a more detailed interest in the game, I couldn't figure out how players seemed to have picked up points when they lost in the first round. So having the qualifying results listed saves an extra bit of research if I get currious about someone.
